If I wanted you to go read a book, there's ways that I could do it subconsciously. In other words, without directly telling you "Go read a book"...

Lil B rambles on about bullshit in his songs and he's still got a fanbase & people that respect him for what he does. This could sub-consciously affect people that may want to make music but are afraid of what others think. Or maybe they want to start their own genre even.

So a few years down the road, they put themselves out there, and try making their own genre. Not knowing that listening to Lil B planted the seed in their sub-conscious to give them the idea to go and start their own genre.

I said I wasn't gonna get sucked into this but......


What you're talking about is subliminal messaging as a form of motivation or persuasion vs. social change as a result of media.

So first, subliminal messages as a form of persausion is fairly inconclusive. The only strong results that were found were for a study of movie theaters who used subliminal advertising to show treats and treat sales increased as a result. However, it was inconclusive as to whether or not its because the subliminal ads actually persuaded them or merely because the concept was brought up to them through their conscious and they were thinking about purchasing treats. All other studys that I know of have found subliminal messages as a form of persuasion to be ineffective. Science > Wives Tales.

Second, of course Lil B is going to inspire people. That doesn't have to be a sub-concious experience. Successful individuals inspire people. People make new genres and look to change things. That's just social evolution. I don't see what that has to do with the sub-conscious.
